Before The Nightmare

(A collection of the backstories of certain guests before they arrived at Gregory House. Headcanon mostly.)

Neko Zombie - Formerly Miru Nekoyama. Family were immigrants from Japan and were pretty much driven out of their home by racist bullying. He originally arrived with both parents. When the family got the suspicion that something was up with Gregory House, they planned to leave. Neko Zombie was the only survivor of their escape attempt.

Lost Doll - Formerly Katherine/"Katie". Parents were extremely strict and expected her to inherit the family business. They wouldn't let her do anything that didn't involve the pursuit of that or associate with people outside her social class. She held in a lot of built-up anger and resentment towards them for that, but them throwing out her beloved doll was what made her snap and run away to Gregory House.

Hell Chef - Formerly Fachnan. Grew up in an abusive and overly critical household and developed anger issues as a result. Attempting to host his dream restaurant after cutting ties with them, he didn't have many customers despite his delicious food, due to his fear of criticism causing him to lash out at anyone who had the slightest problem with his cooking. Eventually, he decided he was in need of serious help, and went searching for a place to work so he could get enough money to afford therapy. Unfortunately, he ended up at Gregory House.

Catherine - Sexually harassed by her co-workers at the hospital she worked at. When it became too much to handle, she searched for a new workplace and came across Gregory House. While staying there, her bottled-up resentment at everything her old co-workers put her through got worse and worse, until she snapped and began re-enacting her abuse on everyone around her.

Mummy Dog/Mummy Papa - Formerly Jiemba/"Jimmy" and Jarrah, deadname is Kirra. Grew up having their health concerns brushed off by most doctors because of their racial identity. When Mummy Mama (formerly Medika) became terribly ill, both were desperate to find a doctor that would treat her, leading them to Gregory House.

Judgement Boy - Formerly known as Justinan. Teased and belittled throughout his law school years for being openly autistic. He tried to put up with it all without a fuss, but eventually he burnt out and decided he needed a break to clear his head, leading him to Gregory House.

Cactus Gunman - Formerly named Jorge. Led a revolution against a drug cartel that went horribly wrong. Fled his country from the shame of it all and ended up at Gregory House.

TV Fish - Formerly Ayu Koiyama. Worked as a psychologist that tried so hard to be a listening ear for those in suffering that they burnt themself out. Despite venturing to Gregory House for a break, they ended up continuing their work until they became so wrapped up in others's trauma that they lost their sense of identity.

Public Phone - Prankster deviant who acted out for attention. He was sent there on a dare.

Clock Master & My Son - Formerly Shuji and Maino Hisataka. Clock Master is a former physicist who turned to drinking after his work began to become more and more discredited. He regrets not spending time with his son before he became such a mess and feels as if he let him down, though My Son doesn't mind taking care of him.

Frog Fortune Teller - Was a spiritualist who ran away to Gregory House after the mass drowning of her family.

Roulette Boy - Formerly named Chauncey. Parents neglected him in favor of working at their casino, leading to him running away to Gregory House in the hopes that he would find some attention there.

Mutant Ducks - A pair of teens trying to build a theme park, without any prior training. They ran off to Gregory House after the first test-run of their rollercoaster killed everyone on board.

Mirror Man - Was in an abusive marriage, where his spouse played the part of a loving partner so well that nobody believed him when he tried to speak out about the abuse.

Kinko & Inko - A pair of lovers who eloped due to their parents disapproving of their relationship.

Angel/Devil Dog - Formerly named Charmeine/Cozbi. Was abused and bullied horribly throughout her childhood, and eventually developed a split personality to strike back at her tormentors.

Dead Bodies - A bunch of extremely burnt-out salarymen who regret wasting their lives working.

Judgement Boy Gold - Formerly named Joachim, deadname is Astraia. Was a famous lawyer until a scandal about his past ruined his reputation. Fled to Gregory House in an attempt to regain his bearings, so that he could one day have the clarity to fix his sullied reputation.

James - Abused by his mother, despite his father's attempts to protect him. He eventually ran away to Gregory House for refuge.

Sleepy Sheep - Formerly named Nemuri Fukuoka. Suffered from nightmares constantly due to the stress of their past experiences.

Bonsai Kabuki - Formerly named Aimo Sakurai. Was a relationship counsellor that became too invested in his clients' lives.

Cactus Girl - Formerly named Camila. Came to Gregory House searching for her brother, knowing how ashamed he was after the fallout of his revolution.

Poor Conductor - Formerly named Allegro. Was a promising composer that fell into a depression after the death of his wife. Went to Gregory House to have time to cope with his loss. He had a daughter. Her name was Onpu.

Mono Eye Wizard - Victim of a cult that fled after they threatened his family.

Dr. Fritz - Formerly Elijah. Worked at the same hospital that Catherine used to. Despite witnessing the abuse she suffered, he was too afraid of losing his job to speak up about it. He ventured to Gregory House in an attempt to find her and apologise for being too cowardly to help her.

Gregory Horror Show Characters as Text-Posts (1/3)

Hello dear reader of this post! We’re planning to make this into a series of posts that follow the same format and gig, I’ll be mostly in charge of making them and posting them! I hope you can all follow along on this long journey, whenever we decide to end it that is… But for now, here’s the start of something wonderful… — JB (They/Them, It/Its, He/Him) ⚖️

[syntheticsoda]

It's astounding

Time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control…!!! / lyrics

[amoroboros]

what the fuck pre-hotel Clock Master real

And a bonus human/possible pre-hotel My Son??

[slugass]

WOAH!!!

This is so cool, can’t wait to ask “ok but when are jack and gang gonna meet my son” every episode until we finally get to the one episode about my son and clock master and then those two never appear again afterwards and i just have to go back to that episode and watch it over and over again bc i love watching my son and i like looking at whatever cute/funny expression he has on his face and the things he does bc he the character i am hyperfixated on

more things i wanna point out:

-not rly a fan of the black outlines, i prefer mystery holiday’s lineless style

-jack looks like the male protag from lost qualia hmmmmmmmmm

-also he has purplish-pink irises if you look closely

-the tombstone on the left says “R.I.P GREGORY IV” There were at least 4 gregories in the gregory family WHAT

I am surprised no one has brought this to attention towards the GHS community, it seems to be a pitch at World screening for a new GHS series by TV Asahi. it's called: Gregory Horror Show -Save Our Souls-. this must be the formal Mystery Holiday. the story seems to be different now, about the protagonist named Jack, whos trying to free the souls of the house guest characters from Gregory house. interesting... @iwatanaomi-fanblog you might also need to look into this.

Day Four - Bed Rest

Ghost x Soap

Master List

I struggled to get this one out, I wasn't sure on how to write it! But I hope you all like it, I sorta like how it turned out!

CW: Mentions of being shot, poor Simon is wounded

Words: 1,057

Johnny’s hands tapped against the railings, letting the small sound echo to his ears with a sigh. Looking over the land, the rolling hills glistening in golden grass, the white specks of wildflowers waving along with the grass in the breeze.

He was silently thankful for Price, letting them stay here while Ghost had to recover after a hard mission. He knew being shot hurt, but being shot in the shoulder blade, where you couldn't move your arm at all was horrible when you're so used to always moving. Simon was a whole other story.

He was so used to always doing something, if that were fixing something at home, training or even doing paperwork, he’d find something to keep himself busy. Johnny didn’t quite understand why he couldn’t just stop and take a break, relax for a bit. But he couldn’t stop the man when he had his heart set on doing something. He was grateful he had to be on bedrest, maybe he could finally just sit and relax, not worrying about always having to do something. Maybe he can finally rest, after having spent so long not having a day of rest since joining the military. That’s what he thought anyway.

Deciding to retreat back inside, grabbing himself a mug to make his coffee for the morning. He almost spills the water as he suddenly hears a crash from another room, with multiple curses coming after. He quickly sets everything down, carefully making his way to the noise. His steps were quiet and careful, avoiding each floorboard that creaked with trained military precision. He quickly reached over, grabbing the first thing he could reach for, which so happened to be the clock. He didn;t think that’d do much to an intruder, but it’d give him some time to stun him before putting him in a headlock, or knocking him out. Being a trained military personnel gives you a lot of options.

He silently turned the corner, peeking his head out first before his body followed. The clock was raised in front of him, ready to hit anyone over the head. He wouldn’t let anyone disturb Simon’s rest, he needs this. He wanted to give him this-

“Simon?”

As he steps around the corner, he’s met with Simon, his duffle bag on the ground with its contents splayed over the ground. Every movement he makes causes him to grunt in pain. He’s hunched over, mumbling stuff to himself as he uses his better arm to move stuff to the side. He doesn’t even notice Johnny saying his name nor him being in the doorway.

“Simon?” he calls again, taking a few steps closer to get a better look at the mess that he was making over the carpet. He recognises the bag, the one they pack when staying back at the base, full of army-issued clothing, a notebook and comfort items that he brings along with him to base, even if he doesn’t have many of those. 

Finally Simon grunts in response, but not moving his focus away from the bag. “SImon, what are yer doing out here yer idiot. Your ass is supposed to be in bed rest!”

“Don’t want to stay in the good for nothin bed…” Simon mutters, throwing more clothes on the floor behind him.

Johnny just sighs and moves to sit next to him on the ground, watching him with furrowed brows as every movement causes him more pain than he was already in. “Your shoulder won’t heal properly if you're up and about doing shit like this you twat.”

Simon grunts in response, obviously annoyed that he was being ordered by his Sargent to get back into bed and just by the fact he was already in pain. 

Johnny shakes his hand, placing his hand on his knee and squeezing gently, urging him to relax. Once he finally starts to feel his muscles relax under his touch, he smiles softly and runs his thumb over his knee, watching his face soften slightly. Being out of work and out of public, this was one of the few times he gets to see Ghost without the mask, it was Simon. Not Ghost.

“What are you even looking for?” he mutters, eyes shifting back down to the duffle bag on the ground. He furrowed his brows as he studied the mess he had made, his hands still rummaging through the bag desperately.

He groans and throws the bag forward, grunting in pain and clutching his shoulder as pain sparks through his shoulder again at the movement. Johnny sighs, moving to wrap his arm around his waist hoping to bring him back to his bed.

“C’mon, let’s get you back to bed,” he murmurs, helping him stand up. Even if he could walk by himself, it scared him too much to have him walking around alone like this.

Simon groans softly, but lets him help him up. “I can’t find it…” 

“Find what, Si?”

“The bracelet you gave me.”

Johnny pauses for a moment as he studies his face. It’s not a lot that he will see his Lieutenant in even the slightest distress, but this felt so different, more personal. He frowns once it hits him that he can’t find it. But that would have to be a problem for another day, right now he needed to get back to his bed rest.

“It’s ‘right, we’ll find it later. Right now you need more bed rest,” he says as he helps him lay back down into the bed, trying not to even brush against his shoulder.

Simon groans but lets him help him lay back down, rolling onto his good shoulder with a huff in annoyance. Johnny tries to pull away after, but finds Simon gripping his hand tightly, tugging on it softly. He chuckles and understands what he wants, carefully settling down behind him in the bed. He tangles his legs with his, carefully threading his arm underneath Simon’s, trying his hardest not to bump his shoulder.

“Get some rest.”

“Only cause you won’t stop nagging me till I do,” Simon mutters, mostly under his breath. But as he faces away from Johnny, savouring the warmth of his body close to his, pressing against his back, a small smile spreads across his lips. He felt safe.

He felt at home.

[002-A14] KEY to the Upside Down [1]

Summary — ✈︎ An egg-like object rolled out of the drawstring that the students seemed preoccupied with. After noticing that Kaede and Sakujiro saw the egg, Nanaki and Akuta start to panic…

Characters— ✈︎ Akuta, Kiroku, Nanaki, Muneuji, Ushio, Sakujiro

Location: Otomari Chuuzaemon Inn in Shodoshima

Akuta: Th-Th-That’s… That’s um… It… I-Is… NOT an egg! I know it’s shaped like an egg, but it’s not really an egg!

Kaede: (He seems really nervous… That’s right… I guess this is some kinda teenager thing…)

Akuta: Look, can you hand it to me real quick!? If you wrap it in the bag like this theeen～～！It’s hard and cold, like putting your head on a really cold pillow! It feels nice〜！

Cuddling this while going to sleep is the BEST! Yeah, that’s it! I use it to sleep! Actually, I was gonna go to sleep with it just now!

Um I actually can’t sleep without this AT ALL! I need to sleep while holding it! It’s my destiny!

Nanaki: … You’re too loud. I can’t go to sleep… What are you yelling about now, Akuta…?

Akuta: Yeah Nanaki hasn’t been able to sleep without his goat plushie since he was a kid! Wow〜 what a coincidence!〜 Because I can’t sleep without this either so〜!

Kaede: Oh right, I do remember you guys talking about goats when we were at the cafe earlier. So that’s what that was about Nanaki-kun.

Nanaki: Huh!? A-Akuta, you…!

Nanaki: Could you stop doing that!?

Don’t misunderstand, it’s nothing like that!

This guy is just babbling about random shit…! Isn’t that right, Akuta!?

Akuta: Ug ! Gh… Guh…!

Sakujiro: W-What a magnificent chokehold…! As beautiful as it is, that is very dangerous! Stop that at once!

Nanaki: It’s fine, I’m gonna let him go as soon as we leave the room…! Well excuse us, goodnight! C’mon, Kinugawa-kun, you too!

Kiroku: ! Ah, Y-Yeah…!

Sakujiro: Please wait a moment! Where on earth did you learn such a magnificent move?! Did you have a master? Where did you hone your skills atーー！

Kaede: Sakujiro-san! We should leave them alone!

Sakujiro: But…!

Kaede: Teenagers need to keep a lot of things a secret…!

Ushio: Ha… Tea that you drink before you go to sleep is always really delicious. Caffeine is really good at making your nervous system calm down. 

Muneuji: Look, isn’t the moon pretty at night? It’s shiny very brightly.

Ushio: …It’s bright. Almost glaringly so. It’s enough to be blinding. 

Nanaki: Hah, hah…! Shit…

Akuta: Aghhh～～～ I swear I just saw someone on the other side of the river saying “Come over～”!

Ushio: Y’know… It’s pretty shameful as a human being to just go barging into someone’s room without even knocking. Do you have some sorta explanation?

Nanaki: ーーI think they might’ve seen it. 

Ushio: Hah?

Nanaki: The egg.

Muneuji: Who did?

Nanaki: Chief and… Saku-chan-sensei[2]. 

Ushio: Hah!?

Muneuji: Calm down, Ushio.

It’d be wrong to get upset at Nanamegi and the others. 

More importantly, is the egg safe?

Akuta: Ah, yeah it’s probably all good. It fell on the ground, but when I was putting it back in the bag it seemed fine.

Muneuji: I understand. 

I’ll check it again to be safe. 

Nanaki: … The countdown is going down like it usually is. 

Akuta: About that, we still don’t know what the countdown’s even about right? It’s even out of sync with the seconds on regular clocks〜

Kiroku: …… One count is… around 3.5 seconds… later.

Muneuji: Is it going to break when it reaches zero?

Ushio: Then what? Do you think it’s gonna go boom like in the old building?

Nanaki: …I knew we shouldn’t have brought it with us. We should’ve just left it at the old building. 

Ushio: What’s the point of saying that now? We brought it with us, so it doesn’t matter what you claim we should’ve done now. 

Nanaki: You already know I’ve been against keeping it, ever since the beginning. 

Kiroku: ………

Ushio: Then start acting like it. If you really were against bringing it, why didn’t you tell a teacher about it?

Oh right, you just don’t want the adults to start digging into the reason you were there that day. You didn’t mention the egg because you wanted to get out of questioning, didn’t you?

Nanaki: ………

Akuta: Don’t start fighting about it now～ We’re all in the same boat, aren’t we? Let’s just get along!

Nanaki: We weren’t really fighting. Kurama-kun’s sarcasm is just adding heat to the flames. That’s all.

Akuta: By the way, I’m all OK for keeping the egg with us. ‘Cuz, if we do, we might be able to see another explosion right?

Then I can record Hollywood-level footage of an explosion without having to spend a single cent! It’s way too good of a chance to pass up!

Nanaki: I’m still on the side for throwing the egg away.

Kiroku: ………

Ushio: Huuh. Are you thinking the same thing, Kinugawa?

Isn’t that nice? Dovish[3] people like you are happy as long as you get to sit on the sidelines and pick flowers. 

Kiroku: …Dove…

Muneuji: Dovish means being passive. The opposite would be a hawkish person, who’s more aggressive. 

Nanaki: We’re all in agreement that this egg, or maybe another similar egg that was in the classroom, caused that explosion. 

And now there’s a countdown that continues to go down. 

I’m trying to say that this isn’t something we can just solve ourselves. Before something else happens, we shouldーー

Ushio: What, you think that we should throw away this unknown object while we’re on a trip?

Nanaki: That’s a stretch.

Ushio: Not really. I mean, we can’t tell any of the adults about it. 

The only way to keep things from getting worse for us is to get rid of it while we still can. That’s what the two dovish people over there think, isn’t it?

Nanaki: ………

Kiroku: …………

Ushio: Hah… would you stop making faces at me like you disagree with what I said?

I’m just stating my opinion from an observation I made. 

… Okay then, should we handle this like a democracy and hold a majority vote?

I’m against throwing the egg away. So is Idiotake.

‘Kay, that’s two votes〜

Muneuji: I’m against throwing it away too. I don’t want to let something like this go.

… Because, this could be the clue we’ve been waiting for. Something that could be proof that aliens exist.

Therefore, I’d like to keep it with us at all times. I was the one who brought the egg with us out of the old building as well.

I’m sorry.

Nanaki: Kaguya-kun’s reasoning… Well, I think it makes sense. But, what’s your reason for wanting to keep the egg, Kurama-kun? I want to hear it. 

Ushio: Because it seems interesting. And it can also be used as a weapon to take out people that piss me off. Do I need any other reason?

Nanaki: …… I’m at a loss for words. 

Akuta: NOW NOW NOW GUYS! Let’s stop talking about that now!

That means that the votes are 3 to 2 in favor of keeping the egg!

Kiroku: ………

Akuta: I mean, we’re the ones who found the egg. 

If you think about it a different wayーー

Maybe it wanted us to find it. 

Like a scriptwriter giving a key item to the main character and telling them to “Use this and destroy those guys!”

So that means, we were chosen to be the protagonists.

This egg is tryna tell us that we’re different from everyone else.

It’s proof that we’re special. 

That’s why it’s only natural that we should wait until this story ends. 

All 4: ……

Nanaki: … Fine, I get it.

Based on the counter, it doesn’t even look like it’s going to hit zero yet. We still have some timeーー

So for now, we’ll keep taking turns and passing around the egg to each other. 

… Okay, next person.

Kiroku: …… Keep.

Akuta: YAAAAHOOOOOOOOOIII! Then! It’s the same as before!

Okay, like we’ve said, if anything happens, we’ll talk to each other on the walkie talkie app.

Nanaki: If Chief or Saku-chan-sensei asked about it, how should we answer them?

Ushio: Isn’t it obvious? Play dumb.

That’s why we’re doing the whole coparenting an egg thing anyways.

Nanaki: … Got it.

Muneuji: We’ve settled the matter now. …By the way.

Everyone, how are you feeling about your assignments for the summer festival?

Nanaki: For me…… I guess I'm feeling a bit motivated?

Muneuji: ? You look more happy than usual.  

Nanaki: I’m an average amount of happy.

Muneuji: What about you, Isotake?

Akuta: You don’t gotta worry about it right now. It’s too early to panic.

Ushio: Idiotake is filming, so he only has to worry about it on the day of. Of course he isn’t panicking.

BTW, I can’t do my part. I’m just not gonna do it. There’s just not enough time for preparation for the main eventーー

Muneuji: Ushio won’t be an issue. Next.

Ushio: Wah～ Forced labor～

Muneuji: How is it going for you, Kinugawa?

Kiroku: Ah……… Um.

Akuta: If it’s Kiroku, there’s no problems here!

‘Cuz this guy is a super amazing artist!

Kiroku: ………

Akuta: I’m sure he’s gonna draw SUPER amazing shit, so amazing that he’s gonna make all of mankind drop to their knees in awe of his amazing lantern art! You can count on him. Amazing.

Kiroku: ……That’s……

Akuta: If that’s the case, then I’m relieved. Well then, I’m going to brush my teeth and get ready for bed in the bathroom.

Akuta: Me too〜!

Kiroku: ………

Ushio: “Amazing” he says, but don’t you just have to paint a normal design over and over again? It’s like it’s a job for AI.

Kiroku: …………

Ushio: … Hellooo?

Kiroku: ………………

Ushio: Can you hear me?

Kiroku: ………………

Ushio: Y’know, I’ve been wanting to ask you this for a while. 

Kiroku: Uh………

Ushio: Do you always act like that?

Kiroku: ……! That’s…………

Ushio: ……

Kiroku: …………

Ushio: Hah… Whatever. Forget about it.

Kiroku: …………

Notes — ✈︎

Pretty sure the title is a reference to Stranger Things! If you’ve never watched it before, The Upside Down is the name used to describe a mysterious alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world.

I’m sure you can tell, but Saku-chan-sensei is Sakujiro! Not sure why Nanaki calls him this but well . he does. 

Hawkish and dovish are used to describe how you respond an opinion ( usually politically ). Hawkish being a more aggressive / forceful approach to something as opposed to dovish which is a peaceful and passive approach. As an example, let’s say you want the last piece of cake. A dovish approach would be to ask and make sure no one else wants it before you take it, while a hawkish approach would be to just take it. Hopefully that makes sense!

[fuckyeahgregoryhorrorshow]

Maybe i misunderstood that other anon but GHS could not have started in the 1960s because (if Google is to be believed) Naomi Iwata himself was born in April 1960 (that still make that Clock Master forehead inscription a personal reference for Iwata tho)

I don't know what anon you're talking about but yes Clock Master is most likely referencing Iwata's birth year. Gregory Horror Show aired in 1999.
